Inkpath is a skills and career development platform used by universities and professional membership organisations. Our app has been called ‘Fitbit for your career’. Alongside an app through which end users can plan and measure their professional development, the platform offers organisations a highly configurable administration and management portal. With this portal they may manage professional development opportunities and activities for their personnel, delivering a truly bespoke experience for them, conveyed via their own institutional messaging and brand identity.
Inkpath uniquely blends the benefits of a Software as a Service platform, such as ease of adoption and centralised support, with the configurability and tailorable nature of software which has been developed from a foundation of deep sector knowledge and insight. Our clients love the fact that Inkpath is always evolving, and that our company values constant research and development highly: essential given the complex and fluid policy, regulatory and technological environments enveloping universities and other such organisations.
Because the platform offers rich data analytics and APIs for data export, clients using Inkpath have been able to analyse their professional development offerings in unprecedented detail and gain insights in seconds which would previously have taken months. They have also been able to demonstrate and quantify considerable time savings across diverse constituencies of users, of the order of many weeks’ administrations time saved per year.
